About the author

Suzan-Lori Parks

The first African American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Parks writes in a distinctive 'rep and rev' style that echoes jazz improvisation. Topdog/Underdog is her masterpiece, a two-character play about history, identity, and hustling. Her work challenges theatrical convention through language and structure.
